Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date November 2006 Original research date September 2007 MarriageLaw in Ancient Mesopotamia very much resembled property law . As discerned from Hammurabi s Code , wives were bought and sold in a manner very much resembling slavery . The legal institution of marriage , its rules and ramifications, show that in the Ancient Mesopotamia Mesopotamian world, marriage and slavery were legal cousins. Cultural Institutions The difficulty of understanding social and cultural values based on a legal code must not be ignored. For Sumer and Akkad and Assyria , we have an understanding of their material culture in the form of archaeology archaeologial evidence. We have glimpses of their culture, from Gilgamesh and the Eannatum , but we can only guess of their demeanor. Were these laws of marriage built out of necessity or whim, a personal desire of Hammurabi s or to correct a perceived ill of society? The short answer, of course, is that we ll never know. One can see a basic egalitarian spirit within the code. It treats male and female slaves equally. It affords protection to children borne of a slave if those children are ever treated as part of the family. But the protection afforded to wives, though well mannered, is like the protection afforded to the honest merchant, the oxen and the ill gotten slave. A woman is required to kill herself if a charge of adultery is brought against her, not for her impurity, but because she has brought shame upon the family. This is the case with no guilt. If she has actually committed adultery, then she is to be thrown into the river. Divorce Divorce is acceptable, even amiable, if it s a matter of returning the dowry and getting a refund on the bride price. Finding a new wife, marrying a priestess, they ve all got their rules. The position of a woman in Mesopotamian society can best be seen with two examples. The one is the responsibility of a father to leave his son with a wife. The wording is to, enable ... more details
